Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Stay

“If you don’t know that Cat Beastman, I’ll have Wei Chen send him to the Law Enforcement Team later.”

Jiang Qin was just about to nod when she saw the small blue cat outside the window.

He stood there alone, politely knocking on the window with his paw.

“Qinqin, do you want to see him?”

“Through the window is fine. Ask him what he wants to say.”

“Okay.”

Yun Xie accompanied Jiang Qin to the window. He appeared casual, but he was protecting her from every angle, leaving no blind spots.

“Miss Jiang, I am Lan Yuyan.”

“What? Mr. Lan??”

The little cat nodded. “I lost consciousness after going frenzied. I only regained my senses on the day you sang.”

Hearing this, Yun Xie straightened up, his expression turning dangerous as he stared at Lan Yuyan and opened the window.

His tone held a veiled threat. “My friend, why don’t you come in for a more detailed chat?”

He initially thought this male was just disguised as an Alien Beast, lying in wait. He never expected him to actually be a Frenzied Beast.

Worst of all, he had actually regained his senses because of Qinqin’s singing…

Lan Yuyan did not refuse.

After entering the room, he ignored Yun Xie, who was radiating killing intent, and looked only at Jiang Qin.

“I haven’t told anyone about this, and I bear you no ill will. If you’re really worried that I’ll go around talking, you might as well keep me under your control.”

“After all, if I die, my mother and father will definitely investigate.”

Yun Xie sneered. “So what? I’m not exactly unfamiliar with ways to destroy a body and erase all traces.”

“There’s still a risk, isn’t there? You are indeed very powerful, but Miss Jiang already has quite a few enemies.”

“There’s no need to add another problem to the list. Perhaps we could be allies.”

“If you can’t trust my character, then an alliance bound by mutual interest is also an option.”

“Oh? I’m listening.”

The little cat said in all seriousness, “For example, by letting me marry Miss Jiang.”

“All my assets would become hers. All I ask is to be by her side when she sings.”

“Without Miss Jiang, I would completely succumb to the frenzy. As long as I want to live, it’s impossible for me to betray Miss Jiang.”

“After all, exposing her wouldn’t benefit me in the slightest. But as her partner, I would undoubtedly be one of the lucky ones.”

Before Jiang Qin could say a word, Yun Xie started fighting with Lan Yuyan.

His tone was utterly devoid of warmth.

“You wish. It would be better if I just killed you.”

The man and the cat began to chase each other.

In his human form, Yun Xie couldn’t catch him, so he transformed into his beast form. A Flood Dragon and a cat, they ended up breaking quite a few things in the villa.

Seeing that they were just fighting and that neither held a clear advantage, Jiang Qin decided to ignore them.

She just sat on the sofa, thinking about what to do.

’Lan Yuyan’s beast form was very agile. He was no match for Yun Xie, but if he wanted to escape, it would be simple.’

’He was right. They couldn’t be certain they could eliminate him without a trace.’

’Besides, if he truly bore her any animosity, he’s had the last three days to spread the news that she could restore a Frenzied Beastman’s sanity.’

’This was also a wake-up call for her.’

’It seemed that in the future, she couldn’t take in any strays, whether they were Beastmen or Alien Beasts.’

’Who knew if it was just a Beastman in disguise?’

…

’To be honest, she had a feeling that Lan Yuyan was fond of her.’

’But she didn’t believe his feelings were particularly passionate.’

’At the very least, his affection certainly couldn’t compare to Cang Hong’s feelings for her.’

’But Lan Yuyan was right. There could be mutual interest between them.’

’Honestly, Jiang Qin had felt a fleeting moment of confusion, wondering if she should have chosen to blend in with the crowd from the beginning.’

’If she had never started down this path, perhaps she could have lived a more peaceful life.’

’But before getting the system’s gift package, all she wanted was to make money.’

’As someone in the lower echelons of Interstellar society, starting with nothing, who could refuse a cheat ability that also happened to let her earn money through her hobby?’

’And after getting the grand gift package, she was even less able to resist the temptation of becoming stronger.’

’Rather than hoping others won’t harm you, it’s better to become strong enough to fear no harm.’

’So, she was only confused for a moment before her resolve hardened.’

’Even if she could do it all over again, she would still choose to use the system.’

’The best solution now was to secure Lan Yuyan and make him one of her own.’

’Once she received the system’s grand gift package and her spiritual power reached SS-level, or perhaps even the higher SSS-level, she would have more confidence.’

’If, at that time, any of the males around her developed treacherous thoughts, she was confident she could eliminate them.’

’Jiang Qin knew she might be a bit too cold-hearted, but she had no intention of changing. She was afraid—afraid that having a weakness would make her weak.’

’After all, she had already learned her lesson twice.’

’As for affection, a sliver of sincerity was more than enough.’

***

After Yun Xie taught Lan Yuyan a lesson, the three of them sat down calmly.

The little cat sat upright on the sofa and said calmly, “You probably won’t believe me, but I won’t tell anyone.”

“I never will, not even if I completely turn into a Frenzied Beast.”

“I believe you.” Jiang Qin’s voice was soft, but the three words she spoke were firm.

“I believe you. You’ve helped me a lot, and I’ve always been grateful.”

Shock and touched emotion were clearly visible on the little cat’s face.

Lan Yuyan truly hadn’t expected Jiang Qin to choose to believe him so firmly.

’Her kindness was heartbreaking.’

’She was a female who valued sentiment too much, so pure it was worrying.’

“So, Mr. Lan, you don’t need to be afraid. We’re not going to do anything to you.”

“You can leave now, or would you like us to take you home?”

Although Yun Xie looked thoroughly displeased, he didn’t object. He just irritably lit a cloud-mist Inhibitor and began to take sharp drags.

The sight made the corner of Jiang Qin’s mouth twitch. Speechless, she asked, “Are you part of the ambiance crew? The one in charge of producing the fog?”

“Don’t like it? I’ll switch to the liquid kind from now on.”

As soon as he said it, he tossed the Inhibitor in his hand into the trash can without the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Qin explained, “It’s not that I don’t like it. I’m just worried about you. Smoking that much, won’t it affect your health?”

Hearing her say she was worried about him, the corners of Yun Xie’s mouth curved up uncontrollably. His eyes crinkling with a smile, he wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

“It doesn’t harm me. The thing barely works, anyway.”

“If it doesn’t harm you, then go ahead and smoke it. It smells nice.”

’What was the difference between saying that and inviting a kiss?’

Yun Xie immediately tried to lean in and claim those red lips, but Jiang Qin manually stopped him.

“Ahem, we still have a guest.”

“Fine.” His voice was dejected as he glared at the damned cat on the sofa.

’Just as he thought. He hated bears, and now he hated cats, too.’

Forced to witness the couple’s affectionate display, Lan Yuyan’s breathing grew ragged.

His rationality also wavered for a moment.

But he still endured the pain that felt like it was tearing through his organs and said, “No need to take me home. Just have your partner take me somewhere far away. I’m about to lose control.”

’He had thought he still had some time, but he had been too naive.’

“Are you about to go completely frenzied?”

“Soon,” Lan Yuyan gasped, his breathing heavy.

Jiang Qin’s expression was complicated. “Don’t you already know that I can improve your condition?”

“Why… are you choosing not to stay?”

“I don’t want to force you, much less threaten you. Besides, there’s nothing to be afraid of when it comes to going frenzied. It’s simply the fate of all High-level males.”
